What is the virtue of the regular Sunnah prayers (al-sunan al-rawatib)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Prayer has great merit. Whoever consistently performs twelve voluntary rak'ahs every day will have a house built for them in Paradise by Allah. These are: four rak'ahs before Dhuhr, two after it, two after Maghrib, two after Isha, and two before Fajr. And whoever consistently performs four rak'ahs before Dhuhr and four after it, will be حرم على النار (made unlawful for the Fire). The two rak'ahs of Fajr are better than the world and all that it contains. Furthermore, supererogatory prayers compensate for deficiencies in obligatory prayers and are a means of attaining Allah's love.
